Great news, well deserved too.
I think this is the first nomination Carlton has had since Walsh.

I’m lost by your comment

Round 9 rising star... Cripps number 9

Fantastic performance rewarded

I get the feeling he'll be much more than a pressure small forward, could be a real Shai Bolton

type and play some midfield.

 

[tarczonandjane]

Does anyone remember the bloke last year on this board saying we should delist him because good small players produce immediately?

Probably the same bloke who wanted Charlie Curnow back in the VFL after round one.

Mind you… we all make poor calls.

 

[cookie monster]

Tough, smart footballer
He's a beauty
He's very capable of becoming a Premiership FP

 

[GordonBlue]

Well done Durds. Special player here.

 

[WFGodot]

love the pressure, stay busy, hurt them where it counts, more sausage rolls young man.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Slightly smaller but faster version of the meatball from tigers…
He’s our meatball…

 

[Lace_Out]

He's a beautifully balanced terrior with sublime skills.

Lucky Adelaide took Rowe!

We took Durds with the pick before Adelaide took Rowe.

Just as an aside, not a fan of the Fight Club references to Durdin (aka nicknaming him Tyler)

I know Fight Club is supposed to be one of the most popular and cult movies made in the last 25 years, I have seen it twice and never want to see it again, just a really unpleasant viewing experience to me that does not set a positive example for men and whole they/we should deal with stress/emotional problems. Just a mean spirited and dark movie overall



Now I can get around this !

 

[Dramoth]

Isn't that Jack Carroll?

Durdin is Carroll's mini me.

 

[ferrisb]

At 173 cm and 72 kegs ... reckon that might be a reach.

At 173cm, EVERYTHING is a reach...












Even more so at 163cm (can confirm)

 

[BlueGum]

Grats Durds. Love your workrate and commitment to what the team needs from you each week. Well deserved recognition for all the work you've put in.

 

[ferrisb]

Here's one I prepared earlier...

I picked him in the phantom draft.... A small mid, masquerading as a small forward.

Plays tougher than his size, so will crunch a few opposition defenders caught napping. Would provide plenty of midfield support.

 

[Blue Warrior]

Well done very well deserved nomination was great vs GWS hope he can play many more great games for the Old Dark Navy Blues.

 

[Coona Blues]

At 173 cm and 72 kegs ... reckon that might be a reach.

My exact playing stats a few decades ago. Reckon I’ve lost a cm and added 10kg for every decade. Age well young man…

 

[forever blue 1]

Durdin is Carroll's mini me.

So Durdin is Cripps, Micro Me?

Speaking of short, what's Milkcrate doing these days?

So basically you missed the whole point of the movie then - well done not an easy thing to do actually. Maybe give the novel a try it is only a relatively short read.

No worries, he can go to the Didn’t like Fight Club social events…

Durdin is great! And I’m calling him Tyler.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Can certainly play football this guy. Apologies for wanting you rested a few weeks back, you can stay in as long as you want.

I tipped Durds in Thy's breakout player thread at the start of the season thread. Me and a couple of othes did too.

Was really impressed with glimpses I saw last year in the seniors and occasionally tye VFL, I felt and still do that he is far more courageous and mature/AFL ready than his age/weight or frame would suggest

His chasing and pressure acts in the forward line are going to be as valuable for us as his impact on the scoreboard.

 

[The Return of the Paf]

Here's one I prepared earlier...

To be fair, virtually everyone rated Durdin around that pick. I just lamented the fact that we entered the draft so late.
